Tile repair at your home in Roughbirchworth
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Roughbirchworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Roughbirchworth
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
